The Astronomical JournalThe chemical makeup of Earth’s atmosphere during the Archean (4–2.5 Ga) and Proterozoic eon (2.5–0.5 Ga) contrast considerably with the present-day: the Archean was rich in carbon dioxide and methane, and the Proterozoic had potentially higher amounts of

Dating the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast [PDF]
, 2009 Cyanobacteria have played a pivotal role in the history of life on Earth being the first organism to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, which changed atmospheric chemistry and allowed the evolution of Eukarya.

Ediacara Obscura: Unveiling Hidden Magnetisations in the Fen Complex, Southern Norway
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Paleomagnetic directions found in Ediacaran (635–539 Ma) rocks are widely dispersed, which has led to conflicting hypotheses about tectonic regimes and geomagnetic field behavior during this period, and raised doubts about the fidelity of the paleomagnetic record.

Secular Changes in the Occurrence of Subduction During the Archean
Geophysical Research LettersSubduction processes play a pivotal role in facilitating material exchange between the crust and mantle, contributing to the growth of continents. However, the onset and evolution of subduction remain hotly debated.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Granitoid magmatism along the western Pacific margin records interactions between subduction dynamics and crust–mantle processes; however, the links between plate reorganization and magma‐source evolution remain debated. Here we integrate U–Pb zircon geochronology with Pb–Sr–Nd–Hf isotope systematics to investigate Cretaceous–Paleogene ...

Data‐Driven Investigation Reveals Subaerial Proportion of Basalts Since the Early Archean
Geophysical Research LettersThe subaerial exposure of the modern continental crust through time remains intensely debated, with estimates of the first exposure ranging from the late Archean to the Neoproterozoic.

Was H2O2 generated before oxygenic photosynthesis?
Redox BiologyWe obviously agree with Wu et al. that H2O2 might accumulate in the Archean land waters devoid of Fe2+. We do disagree on the topic of the half-life of H2O2, as the work cited in support for a longer half-live is not relevant to the conditions in the ...

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 265-286, May 2026.ABSTRACT The Quetico subprovince of the Superior Province is among the largest metasedimentary belts globally and provides evidence of tectonic processes at play during the final stages of Archean cratonization. Although previous studies have shown that deformation and metamorphism of the 2.7‐Ga turbiditic protolith resulted in regional subvertical ...
